Why Nine Ravens? You'll have to ask Eddy.
In conjunction with Okanagan Soaring Association, Eddy Rivera is hosting a Fly-In at King Eddy Mountain, Vernon B.C. This is the first fly-in in some years to happen at King Eddie and was host to a number of hang glider events such as the Canadian National Hang Gliding Competition. King Eddy is located at the end of the Coldstream Ranch cornfield off Hwy 6.
King Eddy is a great morning and afternoon flying site and can work up until sunset with some great convergence in the evenings. There is an upper and lower launch and it is an easy flight to Glenn's from upper launch. The road to the launch entrance is well maintained and can be accessed by car. Once you reach the launch entrance you will need to hike up or go up in a truck. The hike from the main road is an easy 10 minute hike.
